What is an Op-Amp?
an analogue integrated circuit with many internal components.
1 of 12
what is the purpose of Operational Amplifier?
carrying out mathematical operations
2 of 12
What is an Inverting input?
the op-amp changes the phase angle of the output signal exactly 180 degrees out of phase with respect to the input signal
3 of 12
What is a Non-Inverting Input?
We provided positive feedback across the amplifier, but for the inverting configuration, we produce negative feedback across the op-amp circuit
4 of 12
What two things can external input be connected to?
inverting or non-inverting input
5 of 12
What is the other input connected to?
the output and zero volts
6 of 12
What is a comparator?
Very high gain in its open-loop state, that is, there is no feedback resistor.
7 of 12
What are three important operational parameters?
High input Impedance, Low output Impedance, Very high gain
8 of 12
What is the High input Impedance?
Typically 1 Mega Ohm, it will not load the device, meaning that it reduces its own input voltage?
9 of 12
What is a Low output Impedance?
Typically 200 Ohms or less so it can supply high output current without loss of output signal voltage
10 of 12
What is a Very high gain?
Typically 10(x6) to give a large output signal for a very small input signal.

Why are these ideal values?
Signal frequency and signal amplitude will affect these figures.
